1.1 million euros for charitable purposes in MV: This is how donated!

In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, money flows into social projects from justice procedures. The gratifying result: Over 1.1 million euros were distributed to non -profit organizations last year. The White Ring, the Workers' Welfare and the Johanniter Accident Aid are the main beneficiaries of these funds, which are awarded when setting procedures in small offenses. Like the Süddeutsche reported, around 720,000 euros have also found their way to the state treasury, which means a small financial increase for the region.

The Higher Regional Court in Rostock has a comprehensive list of around 650 non -profit organizations that can be considered as a recipient. The highest benefits of the past year were on the Dreikönigshospiz Neubrandenburg with 32,540 euros, followed by the "Child in the Hospital" support association with 30,100 euros and the Wismar and the surrounding area, which received 26,800 euros

money requirements as a source of financing

The possibility of imposing money requirements as an alternative sanction has always been in Germany. Due to smaller offenses, procedures can often be set by paying a fine without a conviction judgment. When awarding these funds, judges and prosecutors decide on the favored organizations. The regulations that are behind these decisions are documented in the State Government MV

But how does that work exactly? If procedures are terminated, the judges can choose whether the money flows into the state treasury or benefit non -profit organizations. A new business area has even developed under the term “fines marketing”. This is where experts advise on how non-profits can receive successful funds from money requirements. The scala campus explains that organizations need proof of their non-profitability and a convincing presentation of their work. In addition, an annual accountability report is mandatory to demonstrate the use of the funds.

long -term development and forecast

In the past ten years, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania has already distributed around 14.3 million euros from money requirements, of which around 8.8 million euros went to non-profit facilities. These figures show that the allocation of money requirements is not just a temporary solution, but also contributes to the financing of important social projects in the long term.

clubs who want to be on the list of favored organizations must apply to the Higher Regional Court in Rostock and demonstrate their charitable status. For years, the practice of granting money requirements has also been discussed in the media, so that a high demand for association funding could still be recorded for the future.
